If you have a problem during any system update with mutter-performance & gnome-shell-performance, please install mutter & gnome-shell packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.

If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use mutter-performance-unstable


The default patch list includes "Dynamic triple buffering(!1441)", "text-input-v1(!3751)".

Latest Dynamic triple buffering patch has several included MRs from the main development branch to achieve maximum performance.


To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)

You can see some patches' git history here: https://git.saltyming.net/sungmg/mutter-performance-source/

If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.


The optional performance patches are by default enabled.

Hi! Just take PKGBUILD from ABS, then add: git revert -n 383ba566bd7c2a76d0856015a66e47caedef06b6 to prepare() No need for a patch. P.S. This revert is a real lifesaver. Without it my OpenGL performance is plain awful on gtx960(!). Even Chromium scrolling at 30 fps.

@Saren I think it would be better to use https://gist.github.com/DeadMetaler/ec2afaed0e5e1a858e505af1cf5eca04 which respects the fact that it is not a fix but the revert of a previous commit.

Updated mutter to 3.26.1+7+g41f7a5fdf-1 to match upstream PKGBUILD. It is now much more stable with nvidia prop driver.

ciupenhauer commented on 2017-10-06 17:08 (UTC)

anyone got any ideas why the 3.26 update brought extra issues with dragging? it just hangs and frame drops when doing overview or dragging. This patch fixes the general slowness but now there's another issue I didnt have with 3.24

Thanks mate! No lag, but cpu spikes are still there when moving window. All in all much better experience with nvidia blob driver.

ciupenhauer commented on 2017-10-06 16:50 (UTC)

Thank you s.o. f.u.c.k.i.n. much! this is the second time new gnome version comes out and completely tanks my performance. this is just out of my brains how something like this is possible

Saren commented on 2017-10-06 15:21 (UTC)

This package applies the patch from https://gist.github.com/DeadMetaler/12622bf9415c1100f2d436ffbd6778c6 to workaround https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781835 as to improve gnome-shell/mutter performance in some cases. (Prismatik + nvidia driver?)
